Love

I am only 19 years old. I want you to know that it is possible to be completely in love with someone that young. I have always been a skeptic of romance and falling in love. It is something that everyone dreams about but I believe not all truly find it. I believe that I have truly found it. It is not infatuation like all of my celebrity crushes. This feeling isn't one that I have ever had before. It's new and refreshing. It isn't merely a crush or a physical attraction. What I am in is serious business. It is better than anything I have ever seen in a movie kind of love. I have had the best 6 months of my life. I never had any idea that I could be this happy. I am complete. Every other relationship that I have ever been in, I have had to compromise. My current relationship I can completely see myself being with him forever. We can talk for hours and laugh until it hurts. I have never wanted to be with someone this much in my entire life. I can completely be myself and I know that he loves me unconditionally. And now my heart is broken. The love of my life left today to serve a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in New York, New York. He is only gone for two years but I know that it is going to be a struggle everyday. I never knew that I could be this in love with someone. My biggest comfort is that I know that he is where he needs to be and so am I.

You Will Never Guess What I Did At Work Today...

Today, I was very privileged. I got to do something that most people only watch on movies or maybe even dream about. Well, personally if I dreamed about my interesting experience at work today, then it must have been a nightmare. I don't work in a jungle, or at a local zoo. So, you might be wondering how on earth I worked with a snake today. I work on at a lime plant in the desert, where temperatures range from about 80 degrees to about 110 degrees. (And that's on a good day!) But yes. I most definitely worked with a snake today. This snake was about 20 feet long. I had to wrestle with it for about 6 hours. I wanted it to turn, and it just wanted to go straight! Its rough skin was striped with bands of black, yellow and blue. Its large head was silver, almost metallic! When my co-worker first go out the snake, he made it look like your average Joe could do it! No way!! It took every ounce of strength in my 5'9" body to keep the snake on the straight and narrow. Well my snake was actually connected to a Vac-Truck. (In short, a truck that uses a huge hose, about the size of a basketball, to vacuum up dirt and debris.) It was striped with duct tape to keep it together but it was in a very interesting pattern. The head was metal, really similar to a snake head.But the head had a long pole on it, so you could direct the "snake". So today at work, I wrested with a snake that vacuumed dirt! Pretty exciting day!
